Priming effects in schizophrenia: Associative interference and facilitation as a function of visual context.

摘要: Irrelevant stimuli that flank a fixated target may cause either facilitation or interference with classification. Twenty schizophrenic patients, 20 depressed control and normal subjects were compared on flanker priming task involved the linear display of surrounded by two flanking letters digits. Choice reaction time between letter digit targets was examined as function condition onset asynchrony flankers target. Facilitative occurred only prior exposure compatible response required greater in degree than subjects. Interference from incompatible less among schizophrenics other groups. Several different processes be inhibition irrelevant information schizophrenics.
